It was a nice departure last week, to write about not so serious matters, in order to make fun of everything and everyone (including myself). Today, however, it's back to more serious matters (if you can call computer matters 'serious', of course): Amiga OS4. Or how it will fail utterly if Hyperion/Amiga Inc. don't get their heads out of the sand. Note: Sunday Eve Column.

No for a while AO was all about MOS/Peg and BBRV and anything AmigaOS4 related was attacked by Moobunny regulars moving onto the website. IMO there was a need for a place on the internet which was relatively calm to talk about AmigaOS4 and other Amiga projects, similar like many of the same people who contineously attacked these projects were already doing on MorphOS dedicated websites, with regard to MorphOS of course.
That's totally insane. You're rambling. I hope that deep down you're secretly ashamed of these ridiculous conspiratory lies you spout here. If you're not I advise you to seek help from a psychiatric professional. A normal person usually can't warp reality the way you just did and keep a straight face. Thank god I left the Amiga scene a couple of years back if all that's left of it are nutjobs who listen to people like you. I remember you tried to sell the AmigaInc scams and FUD and paranoia not only in your own loony bin aw.net but even here on OSNews, but I thought you had the common decency to have crawled back under your rock since then.

Maybe you weren't following the Amiga community back then, so you really don't know. But indeed did a few vocal individuals ruin the experience for a large group of people and nothing was done about this for quite a while due to other interests.

Oh and besides this has been acknowledged by the website owner and he showed his regrets, so there's no need for you or anyone to change history.
IMO enough water has passed the bridge and it's time for people to quit bringing up the past so much, especially faked interpretations of it. AmigaWorld.net got popular due to its reasons, but there's no need to make up conspiracy theories about it, nobody held a gun towards anyone's face to join the website. It was a totally new *alternative* compared to what was already available. The website had to establish itself in an environment with already well established players. From such a perspective the website did rather well.

Aw.net meant there was finally a good alternative to AO for people mainly interested in the AmigaOS4 project who weren't interested in the endless fighting.
IMO choice is good.

You got no better things to do?
